General Hospital’s Steve went on his social media accounts to apologize to his fans for having to cancel the tour. Burton also promised to share new dates soon once they are able to be rescheduled. Chances are Covid-19 testing will be repeated in a couple of weeks to make sure the virus is gone. The tours are handled by Coastal Talent NYC who issued an official statement on the subject to ticket holders:

“We are very sorry to say that the Stone Cold and Jackal shows will need to be rescheduled. All tickets will be transferred to new dates which will be announced next week. @1steveburton has just tested positive for Covid. He was exposed at work last week and took a test Wednesday which was negative, however in an abundance of caution before flying out to do the tour, he took another test this morning to be safe and tested positive. He is fine and currently has no symptoms. We are working actively to secure another date, for the tour but we ask that you kindly bear with us as we navigate a very difficult situation.

GH Spoilers – Steve Burton Is Being Cautious

General Hospital’s Burton isn’t currently showing any symptoms presently, however, he is being very cautious. Ironically, the diagnosis happened on Friday the 13th, a day important to a completely different Jason. Hopefully, Burton will remain symptom-free and well recover quickly.

Unfortunately, since he was exposed at work, fans must be wondering if this will lead to a production shut down until everyone is free of the virus. Nothing about a shutdown has been mentioned so far but that will probably depend on the number of others who test positive. Of course, anyone who has worked with Burton should be tested and quarantined for the usual two weeks. It is unclear how GH is handling this situation at the present time.

We will update fans as soon as we hear anything on Steve Burton’s condition and how GH is handling it. Of course, if anyone else releases a positive diagnosis, we will let you know. However, It seems that Nancy Lee Grahn is already offering her opinion on the subject as well. Nancy is calling out unvaccinated actors after this latest development. “All sets revolve around zone A. That’s anyone who has direct contact with actor who must be unmasked to film. Therefore ANY actor unvaccinated endangers EVERY person on every set.” Fans are speculating which particular actor she is directing this comment too.
